HK 416 BCG's are absolutely proprietary.....that's one of the things that makes them work.

And I thought the HK hate would never end...

HK 416 BCG's are absolutely proprietary.....that's one of the things that makes them work.

And they are an absolute piece of art! Smoothest cycling AR I have ever felt!

I wonder how hard it would be to have that extra material from the barrel extension ground off so that the MR556 could use the standard 416 carrier.

Ny news on pricing and availibility?

Or is it still 1q10?

Why don't they square away the SL8 and release a semi-auto G36? I am happy with a Colt AR15, but I would consider a G36.

some pics I took a few minutes ago at the local gunshop.
the BCG is still semiauto but they removed less metal from its bottom; also the carrier is NOT chromed where the bolt sit; on the right side you can see the room for the barrel extension lug (the anti military BCG device).

also the carrier is NOT chromed where the bolt sit

HK416 carriers do not have chrome plating on the interior either. Really no need for it as it's a piston operated system, not DI.

thanks,
maybe it's not needed also because they chromed the bolt...just a guess

ORLY??

From SoldierSystems:

"Rumor has it that the HK MR223 introduced last year in Germany last year will finally be released here in the US after SHOT show. Apparently, there have been some ATF issues that have delayed importation of what many feel is the holy grail of HKdom.

However, the biggest news is that the US version will not feature the offset rear take down found on the European rifles. This means that American enthusiasts will be able to use HK416-style uppers with any Mil Spec lower receiver."
